Subj: [kl] Followup question: Greenline and temperature

Hi All,

Thanks to all for the reponses to my question. I get the list in digest
form, and so can't reply directly to a response.

I'm puzzling over how the pitch is markedly influenced by the temperature of
the air. I see the logic in it, but am troubled by the oboe. If it is true
that the oboe's A is remarkably in tune, why isn't the oboe's pitch affected
by the temperature of the air column? (Perhaps it is, and I just haven't
heard -- for I've been away from my horns for 30 years while making a
living!)

Best wishes,
Vann Joe Turner
